There is Noelle, with whom Bruce is in an open marriage, and Mercer Mann, whose return to the island with a potential bestseller after her sudden departure three years ago is the reason for the cocktail party with which the book opens. About Camino Winds 1 NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER The perfect crime scene in the type of wild but smart caper that Grisham’s readers love.Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing The master of the legal thriller sweeps you away to paradise for a little sun, sand, mystery, and mayhem. He is also at the centre of the unsteadily glittering group of writers who live on the island: a brooding poet short on humour, two elderly women, live-in partners, popular for the soft porn they write under a shared pseudonym, a former jailbird who is now a success with his crime thrillers, an enigmatic author who fictionalizes real-life scandals, as well as others. Bruce Cable, the proprietor of the unexpectedly glamorous bookshop, Bay Books, thrives as a connoisseur of bestsellers, nurturing ‘his’ authors with assiduity and imagination, holding readings four times a week and, most important, hosting writers on their promotional tours with such success that publishers are only too glad if one of their authors is invited for a reading and signing session. This novel does not confine itself to intrigues about stolen manuscripts like its predecessor but moves on to murder. Many of the 2017 characters return in Camino Winds. A fictitious island resort close to Florida free of lawyers and peopled by writers, poets and seasonal residents would hardly seem John Grisham country had he not given his readers the novel, Camino Island, in 2017.
